Checking and adding domains
myViewBoard Entities are tied to specific registered domains. Check the "Domain" section of your Entity Management portal to see which domains are registered to your account.
By default, a single main domain is registered. Please check to make sure your registered domains match with your end user email addresses.
In some cases, you may have been assigned a virtual myViewBoard domain. An example virtual domain name will look like: dnmxntk5mdm4ody0mdqw.at.myviewboard.cloud
If any additional domains are needed, they can be added in the "Domains" section (#6 in the above image).
To add a new domain, click the add button. After adding the domain, click the
cog to verify the domain. You can verify by either MX or TXT record.
Configure Single Sign-On
myViewBoard has the option to setup Single Sign-On (SSO) with Microsoft Azure AD, Google G Suite, SAML, and SCIM. You can configure this in the "Single Sign-On" section (#7 in the above image).

Managing users
The initial account created for the entity is an Owner account. This has admin rights and cannot be changed. For all other users, myViewBoard has two types of roles:
- User: a standard user without access to the Entity Management console.
- Admin: has access to Entity Management to change settings.
These roles can be configured by selecting Users in the left side menu, and then clicking the drop-down menu in each user row.
Also in this row there are buttons to Reset Password for a user, and
Delete a user.
